EXPRESS COMPANIES.
They Are Not Subject to the Inter-
state Law.

New YORK, Sept. LIN June last the
Interstate commerce commissioners
ordered the express companies to file
with them on Sept. briefs on, els the
federal law regulating interstate COM
merce applicable to express compan-
ies?" Upon receipt of the order all the
express companies set about, through
their respective legal counselors, to
obey it. To-day Clarence Seward, for
the Adams Express company; Mr.. Nc
Farland, for the United States Express
company; Mr.. Chesholm, for the South
ern; Mr.. Pomeroy, for the National and
American Express companies, and
Messrs. Blanding and Pilsburry for
Wells Fargo. submitted their briefs to
the commissioners. Mr.. Seward, in his
opinion, expresses himself substanti-
ally as the other legal gentlemen in
theirs, so that his conclusion is that of
all, He says: 1.-THE Adams Express
company is not in any sense one of the
common carriers to whom the interstate
commerce act in any way relates"

AN IMPENDING ISSUE.

The dearth of political issues this year
is very we'll exemplifed in the Virginia
canvass. The main issue raised by the
MAHoNITEs against the Virginia Dem
ocracy is that Gov. LEE, who is
Democrat is in the habit of going to the
theater. MALONE who leads the Re-
publican column, is waging the political
fight on that issue with all the energy
and earnestness that he displayed on the
battle field twenty odd years ago, when
he was in command of a rebel infantry
division. 1t is foolish sort of an issue
as everybody must concede, but we
want to give Gen. MALONE and the
Republican leaders fair warning that it
is the kind of artillery that shoots both
ways. If MALONE wins victory on it
in Virginia, the Minnesota Democrats
will take it up neXtyear. Gov. MCGILL
and ex-Gov. HUBBARD were at st.
Paul theater one night this week, and
both of them laughed everytime that
one of KATE CAsTLEToN's sky rocket
kicks went off. 1t all depends on the
Virginia campaign, whether, or not this
hilarious conduct on the part of the two
eminent Minnesota statesmen will be
construed into a political OffenSe.

A LIVELY LECTURE
Given the Pittsburg Grocers by
Judge Cooley.

Judge Cooley.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Recently an
association of wholesale grocers in
Pittsburg filed with the Interstate COM
MERGE commission protest against any
change as asked by New York shippers
in the present system of freight classifi-
cation as between car loads on the one
hand and smaller quantities on the
other; but added that they deemed it
unnecessary to enter into any argu-
ment on the subject other than to say
tnat the said classification is, in their
opinion, just and fair to all concerned"
Judge Cooley, acknowledging the re-
ceipt of the letter, comments as follows
upon the disinclination occasionally
manifested by parties in interest to
argue their cases before the commission:
Allow me to say that this course is neither
1alr TO the commission nor business like.
ANY such question as is presented by the New
YORK petitions has two sides. One side will
be strongly presented by the petitioners and
all the considerations advanced will tell in
their favor. You appear to assume that the
commission will infallibly discover the con
slderatlons bearing on the other side, and
you refrain from giving assistance. / beg to
remind you that if you treated your law suits
IN the same way you would generally get
beaten, even when justice was ON your side.
Inc court needs the aid OF the parties and it
Will get but imperfect views of the case with
out 1t: You may think the railroads will pre-
sent all that can be said, but this is very I'M
safe reliance; they may think it for their in
terest before the cases are concluded to yield
to the petitioners claims. Railroads make
frequent changes in their classification and
1or aught we know they may be perfectly
willing to make the one now demanded. The
commission is exceedingly DESTROYS to adj
minister the new law justly and according to
It's spirit But in order to do this it is nee
sons as are able to render it. And when citi-
zens deliberately withhold such assistance,
they will be fairly estopped, if they find that
decisions are made to their detriment, from
ture OF things that the commission should
not sometimes be misled when only one side
OF controversy is presented

A Timber CuttineCase.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Acting Sec
rotary of the Interior MuIdrow has re-
quested the attorney general to direct
the United States attorney for Wash
ington, Ferry, to Investigate the alleged
cutting of timber by contractors of the
Northern Pacific company for construc-
ton purposes on the Cascade branch of
that road. This action was taken in
consequence of the report of Special
Timber Agent Frost to the effect that
the railroad is denuding the public
lands of their valuable timber without
regard to law or to the rules and regu-
lations of the land office. The com
pany claims they have right to the use
OF this timber for construction pur-
poses, but the agent alleges that the
timber is used for repairs.

GRouNDLEss FEARS.

There is good deal of unnecessary
apprehension of trouble expected to be
Occasioned by the assembling of the
Grand Army at st. Louis. In fact, the
discussion that is going on in the st.
Lonis papers over it is doing more to
create this apprehension than anything
else. The Wheeling episode is cited as
proof that there is to be trouble. The
wild talk of such empty pated fellows
as FUTILE and others of his iIk is
quoted as evidence of it. But all these
things amount to nothing. The fools
are in the minority in the Grand Army
organization. The majority of the
Grand Army men are wise enough and
strong enough to keep the fools in sub
lection. They will notpermit few hot
headed politicians to lead the national
encampment into repetition of
the disgraceful folly that was ex-
hibited at Wheeling. And the same
is true of the people of ST..
Louis. The Grand Army people will
be their guests and they will be treated
according to the established laws of
courtesy and hospitality which are no
where better understood and observed
than in st. Louis. If any st. Louis citi-
zens want to testify their respect to the
nations chief magistrate by hanging
out CLEVELAND banners in front of
their homes they have perfect right to
do it. If there is any Grand Army
member whose loyalty is at so low an
ebb as to be capable of disrespect to the
highest Office created by the constitu-
tion of his country he will have the
right to manifest his lack of patriotism
by walking Oh the opposite side of the
street. These rights of individuals are
well enough understood by both the
Grand Army members and by the
people of st. Louis. There is no
reason TO apprehend any conflict

Only a Personal Row.

WASHINGTON, Sept. la dispatch
was last night received at the depart
ment of state from United States Con-
sui Brigham, at Paso del Norte, con-
tanning an account of the assault made
upon him by the Mexican Judge Zubia.
The consul in his dispatch makes no
suggestions or comments save the state
ment that he offered no indignity to the
judge, or did anything that could be
construed into an insult. The matter is
regarded at the department as one per-
sonal to the parties concerned, and no
international complications are ex-
pected to result. The telegram has
been placed upon the files so that it may
be held in readiness to answer, in case
any complaint is made against the con-
sui by the Mexican government.

front. The old warriors were on hand
with words of wisdom and good coun-

an encouraging sign for party of pro-

to possess the elastic qualities to enable
them to compass the new issues which
arise in such rapid succession in this
age of progress. The men of the times
are always the men for the times.
